Video of the Day: Let the Leprechauns March

Millions of people marched in and watched the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade on Fifth Avenue yesterday.

Another part of the St. Patrick's Day tradition is to protest. Whether it's gays or lesbians who are upset they aren't allowed to march or firefighters who are angry they are pushed to the middle of the pack, there's always a little unrest. Our videographer Kelly Loudenberg checked out a very different set of protesters - the Leprechaun contingent.

And out of curiosity, how many drunken St. Patrick's Day revelers did you run into yesterday? There were at least five we came across on a subway train who were really asking for it.

How many drunken St. Patrick's Day revelers did I run into yesterday? Let's just say that I was PRAYING for a potato famine.

This is why leprechauns aren't allowed to march.

Lol, Orange at the St. Patty's day Parade ?? Hahahahahahahahahaha! I love it ! I would have never thought of doing something like that .

 

I noticed a crew from the Tonight Show working on a segment, "Drunk...or not Drunk?" along the parade route. The couple they interviewed near me were breathalysed at .32 and .36! It is supposed to air Tues.
